Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 714 Rich and Rich

"Who?"

The next day, it was dark at seven o'clock in the morning. The heater in the house and the closed windows blocked the chill from the outside world. Liu Yifei, who was wearing plush panda pajamas in the bathroom, did not feel cold at all.

She poked her head out of the bathroom, with a toothbrush still in her mouth and toothpaste powder decorating the corners of her lips. She looked at Chu Xuan who was getting up and getting dressed with a calm tone and curious eyes.

"Wang Yuan, I told you." Chu Xuan was wearing a leather jacket.

"Oh, he came to the capital to find you?" Liu Yifei knew Wang Yuan, and Chu Xuan had told her.

My father is the vice president of Shenghai Film Group, my grandfather is the director of Shenghai Film Factory, and my mother is the director of the office of the relevant departments in the cultural field of Shenghai. She is a top second generation in the cultural circle.

At the same time, he is also the boss and screenwriter of "Love Apartment", and is also friends with Chen He, a second-generation cultural circle in FJ Province.

"I'm here. I didn't say anything in advance. I arrived last night." Chu Xuan zipped up his leather jacket and walked to the bathroom.

"What should we do? Today we have to accompany Jack and Ellender." Liu Yifei said. Wang Yuan's arrival was a bit unlucky.

Chu Xuan came to the bathroom, holding a toothbrush and squeezing toothpaste: "It's easy to handle. Wang Yuan is interested in the industrialization of screenwriting. Then we will take Jack and Ailand to visit the literary company first and receive them together."

"Okay, this is the only way." Liu Yifei nodded.

The couple washed up, and when Liu Yifei was dressed, Chu Xuan went out with her.

After saying hello to Liu Xiaoli, the two of them didn't eat breakfast and drove straight to the hotel where Wang Yuan was staying, as they were afraid of wasting time and neglecting their friends.

"Mr. Wang, you didn't say hello when you came, so that I could make arrangements for you." When they arrived at the hotel's underground parking lot, Chu Xuanchang said to Wang Yuan, who had been waiting for him and came over.

"Hey, don't bother Mr. Chu. I'll do it myself." Wang Yuan declined Chu Xuan's kindness and got into the back seat to greet Liu Yifei: "Hello Mr. Liu, I am Wang Yuan, the contractor of a small cultural company in Shenghai."

Few people know that Liu Yifei became a shareholder and vice-chairman of Brilliant Times, but for a top-ranking son like Wang Yuan who is quite transparent about these little-known news in the circle, he naturally calls him Mr. Liu.

Wang Yuan's self-introduction was quite interesting, and Liu Yifei replied with some emotional intelligence: "If Mr. Wang is just a contractor, then we are just small contractors."

Wang Yuan shook his head: "If you say that, then I'm ashamed of myself."

His family background seems to be strong, but his current strength is nothing, far behind Chu Xuan of the same age, and he is very self-aware of this.

There are some powerful friends in the social network, and there are also many successful people, but success for people with backgrounds is nothing. People like Chu Xuan who started from scratch are more worthy of learning. This is why he wants to date Chu Xuan. .

"Mr. Wang." Chu Xuan drove out of the parking lot and said, "Two friends are here at Haolaiwu. There will be two more people in the group today. Don't mind, Mr. Wang."

"Mr. Chu, you are very polite. Your distinguished guest is important. I am just here to observe and learn as a primary school student." Wang Yuan didn't care and said with envy: "Your company is developing so fast, even Haolaiwu has come to seek cooperation."

Chu Xuan drove onto the avenue, heading towards the Shangri-La Hotel, and said, "It's just luck."

Hearing Chu Xuan's humble words, Wang Yuan smiled slightly and said no more.

After arriving at the Shangri-La Hotel, Chu Xuan accompanied Wang Yuan to wait in the car, while Liu Yifei went upstairs alone to pick up Jack and Ai Lande.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Chu Xuan and I went to pick up a friend from afar, a very excellent screenwriter."

"It's okay, introduce us to each other. It's an honor to be friends with outstanding people. Where should we go now?"

"Go to the creative literature of the Brilliant Era, a place that specializes in creating scripts."

"Create a script? I like it. Let's go."

At this moment, Cai Yinong and Li Guoli came from the blind spot behind them.

"Mr. Liu, can we visit the literary company together?" Cai Yinong said.

Bright Times has become a group and has established a separate company for screenwriting. This is the only one in the industry.

The industrialization of screenwriting in Brilliant Era has become a rumor circulating among major film and television companies in the industry.

She heard the conversation just now, and the company Bright Times Creative Literature also interested her very much.

If your own Tang Ren is to be merged into Bright Times, it is also necessary to learn more about the operating structure of each subsidiary of Bright Times.

Liu Yifei felt funny. She obviously planned to take only Jack and Ailand to play today, but with the addition of Wang Yuan and now Cai Yinong, it really meant that either none of them would come or they would all come together.

Cai Yinong's request was made clear, and Liu Yifei couldn't refuse, so she simply agreed.

Chu Xuan watched Cai Yinong and Li Guoli follow. After learning the situation from Liu Yifei, he couldn't laugh or cry. The original group of people turned into three groups, which was quite dramatic.

Fortunately, Cai Yinong and Li Guoli drove their own cars, otherwise they would not be able to fit in one car.

Just like that, the two cars drove onto the road one after another, heading towards the literary company.

Chu Xuan greeted Liu Yi in advance. When the group arrived at the company, there was no shortage of hot tea, coffee, fruits, and snacks.

"This company has a good location, and the structure of the courtyard looks creative." Cai Yinong praised the surroundings while holding hot tea.

Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei led them to the studio of "My Love from the Star". After a brief introduction, the guests and teachers greeted each other. Only Tang Jili was not there. As the chairman of the film company, he wanted to meet with Wang Jinhua communicated with Macron’s business team about investment.

Hearing Liu Yifei say that this drama was used to commemorate her and Chu Xuan's pre-marital relationship, Grande was greatly envious: "You guys are too romantic!"

Everyone walked to the office area.

Chu Xuan took a sip of the hot tea and said, "Teacher Liu, we have distinguished guests who are interested in the screenwriting industry. You can introduce me to me at your home venue."

Liu Yifei acted as a translator, reorganizing Chu Xuan's words and speaking them in English to Jack and Ellender.

Jack and Grande heard about the industrialization of screenwriting, which made them very interested. Hollywood's film and television industrialization is very comprehensive, but there is no so-called screenwriting in terms of screenwriting. Like China, most of them are outsourced to screenwriting studios. write script.

Although the Brilliant Era is powerful in China, what can the Brilliant Era do that Haolaiwu has never done?

This is a question and a point of expectation.

"Is this your Chinese screenwriting software?" Grande saw the software interface in the computer. There were screenwriters typing text on the keyboard. This was similar to the situation in the United States when they used software to write scripts.

This is also a reflection of the development of the United States in this regard. Several years ago, there was a drama writing software specially designed for screenwriting teams. However, in China, only Bright Times has such software.

Ailand thought that such software was common in China's screenwriting industry, but he misunderstood the situation in China's screenwriting industry.

"Currently we are the only ones who have such drama writing software." Liu Yifei told the truth. That is the truth. There is no need to lie on this point.

"Is that so?" Grande was slightly surprised, but Jack nodded slowly. This was also in line with what he knew about the reality of the screenwriting industry in the Chinese entertainment industry.

"Such software is very convenient and can speed up efficiency to a certain extent." Cai Yinong pointed at the screen and said to Li Guoli: "This typing speed is really fast."

"I have a question." Wang Yuan frowned slightly and said in confusion: "This is about character dialogue, but there are no scenes in the front and no camera distribution in the back. This..."

Li Guoli had doubts about this for a long time, but it was hard for him to ask.

This method of using software to write dramas made him feel very strange. Looking at the words that each screenwriter typed on the keyboard, he always felt that the scope of the work was incomplete. He didn't know if it was because of the software or something, but something was wrong.

Jack and Grande can't read Chinese, so they naturally don't know their doubts. If it were English on the screen, they would immediately notice the difference in the way the script is written in Brilliant Era.

"Stop for a moment, your group." Liu Yi said, stopping the five-person screenwriting team.

The five screenwriters looked at Liu Yi, who ordered: "Find a plot and demonstrate the creative mode to the teachers from the beginning."

The best way to make people understand the existing screenwriting industry system is to clearly demonstrate it. It is difficult to explain clearly by just talking.

"Teachers, come on, let's look at this first." After Liu Yi walked to the first machine in the row of machines, a screenwriter began to demonstrate. Everyone followed and stood behind the screenwriter to watch.

Just read what the screenwriter wrote——

[Scene: Noon, clear sky.

A simple single apartment of 20 square meters. The window is located in the south and the door is located in the northeast.

From the perspective of looking at the door in front of the window, the bed is located on the left side of the door, two meters away from the window. There is a wardrobe in the two-meter space. Several pairs of old shoes are located in front of the bed. The wall to the right of the door is leaning against a broom.

There is a small table at the corner between the wall and the window on the right. There is something futuristic and similar to a teapot on the table. On the table, Chinese medicine is boiling. There is a strong smell of Chinese medicine in the room.

There were clown costumes like overalls, wigs, red noses and other items on the bed. The shabby curtains on the windows were tightly closed and the light was very dark. These things looked old.

The door is open, and there is an apartment opposite. The curtains of the apartment opposite are also tightly closed. On this sunny day at noon, there is no light in the two apartments, which is in sharp contrast to the bright sunlight at the end of the corridor.

Characters: Male protagonist Jiao Ke, female supporting character 6-year-old Wu Xiaobao.

Plot: Wu Xiaobao knocks on the door, Jiao Ke opens the door, Wu Xiaobao asks Jiao Ke to play the clown, and Jiao Ke happily accepts. 】

"So detailed!" Wang Yuan was stunned.

Are you writing a script? This is composing the picture!

Just take a look at the description of the apartment. The furniture has a full sense of direction. Even the light is described. The light contrast is also there, giving a strong sense of space.

No, we can’t just talk about the sense of space, it should be the sense of light and shadow space.

After watching it once, Wang Yuan already had a scene containing light and shadow in his mind.

Li Guoli sighed: "Just by reading this description, I can see the texture of the picture. This is really..."

He shook his head, speechless.

Scene description is only the first part of the plot of the script, and the quality of this part can tell a lot about it.

Most screenwriters in the industry are not so careful, nor would they rack their brains to create like this, otherwise it would be very energy-consuming.

At this glance, you can tell that these screenwriters of Brilliant Era have been specially trained and have their own set of creative methods.

Liu Yifei lightly covered her mouth and patiently told the content written by the screenwriter in English. Although Jack and Ailand did not have the same intuitive feelings as Wang Yuan and Li Guoli, the details and overview of the content also surprised them.

Are all Chinese screenwriters so attentive? The two of them had questions in their minds.

Liu Yi raised his lips slightly, where did he go? This is surprising, and it will only surprise you more later.

He walked forward and came to the second machine.

"Hey, Teacher Liu, haven't you finished writing yet?" Wang Yuan saw Liu Yi leaving and was very surprised. Where is the dialogue between the characters? What about split shots? Just write a scene and be done with it?

"Look here." Liu Yi pointed at the screen.

The group of people only saw that the scene content in the first computer software was clicked and submitted by the screenwriter.

Later, in the second computer software, the screenwriter was able to receive the scene content written by the previous screenwriter.

Wang Yuan, Li Guoli and Cai Yinong looked at each other. Is this division of labor and cooperation? They seemed to have grasped the key point, but the specific situation was not yet known, so they continued to read in silence.

The content of this scene had been written long ago. The screenwriter took a look and entered it into the computer——

["Dong dong dong." Knock on the door.

"Uncle Joke, Uncle Joke." Wu Xiaobao's childish voice came from outside the door.

Inside the door, Jock walked towards the door with a gloomy face.

The door opened, Jock smiled brightly and said nothing.

"Uncle Joke, play the clown for me!" Wu Xiaobao said.

Qiao Ke knelt down and scratched Wu Xiaobao's nose: "Wait."]

The dialogue between the characters ended here, and Wang Yuan and Li Guoli sighed again.

Although there are only a few words, the image is really strong.

Not only is it strong, but the emotions of the characters can also be felt.

They didn't know why this Jock had a gloomy face. It was taboo to set expressions for characters in the character dialogue module in script creation, which would constrain the actor's performance ideas.

Unless it is very necessary, the screenwriter will give a special mark, that is, a special mark.

Judging from this special mark, something bad must have happened to Jock and he was in a bad mood.

But as soon as the door opens, there is another distinctive sunny smile, which represents the mood switch of the main character.

Wu Xiaobao asked the protagonist to play the clown, and the protagonist immediately agreed, which shows that there is a deep bond between the protagonist and Wu Xiaobao.

Writing a script does not require writing skills, but it requires concise and powerful writing skills.

A few lines, a few special expressions, and the emotional changes in them are all reflected. The screenwriters in this bright era are better than the last.

"I really want to ask a question." Wang Yuan had too many questions: "The script was written separately. Didn't one person write a certain plot?"

"Yes." Chu Xuan answered on behalf of Liu Yi.

"Then..." Wang Yuan was even more surprised and pointed at the two screenwriters: "Do these two teachers have such a tacit understanding? The context is as close as if they were written by one person, and the writing style is also consistent."

Each screenwriter has a different literary thinking and writing perspective, but the creative methods of the two screenwriters he just observed somewhat broke his perception.

According to common sense, it doesn't matter if the writing style and style are inconsistent before and after, as long as the chief screenwriter has good control and the director maintains the tone of the scene.

However, the writing style of the same plot must be consistent. Otherwise, the scene description is cheerful and the character dialogue is sad, which is completely wrong and cannot be filmed at all. The script of the plot needs to be rewritten.

Therefore, he was shocked that two screenwriters wrote the same plot, with the same writing style and so fitting, and they still created it on the spot.

Liu Yifei said: "We have been working on it for a year and a half. We have trained more than 100 screenwriters. We have formed a group of screenwriters with similar writing styles. After more than a year of partnership and writing experience, we have achieved such a result."

Wang Yuan, Li Guoli and Cai Yinong were stunned, a year and a half? Train more than a hundred screenwriters? Group by style?

They didn't mention any of this. They just wanted to ask, how much will it cost?

"How much money was invested?" Cai Yinong asked everyone's thoughts.

"Software development, machine replacement, manpower and material resources, electricity and water bills, performance benefits, etc., 2000 million a year." Liu Yidao.

Cai Yinong was heartbroken. "Sword and Sword 3" was so popular that she didn't even earn 2000 million, but the TV series carried her development destiny of Tang Ren.

Just ask anyone, are you willing to spend a lot of money to do something that is uncertain or even has a high probability of failure? Ninety-nine percent of people will say no.

The Bright Era is better, spending 2000 million a year to engage in the screenwriting industry, doing something with no idea of ​​the outcome.

People with deep pockets don’t do this. As social prices rise, this investment will only increase year by year.

In this regard, everyone has nothing to say. If people are willing to play like this, what else can they say?
